Overcoming adversity, psychological resilience and leadership in every environment.

Suffixtication. The wonderful thing about isms Is isms are wonderful prisms With hops and with twists They try to become ists To put lies in the place of truisms The wonderful thing about ists Is that ists also have wonderful twists With any dislike This suffix can strike Much harder than men with two fists. The terrible thing about lies Is lies are terrible things With out disbelief They cause untold grief And leave us with unanswered whys. The terrible thing about ics Is ics are terrible things When blended with evil And prefixed with people They result in the word ‘politics’. Robin Horsfall 2024

Hi Robin, you sir are a word Smith but also much more, your life experiences and the way you view or mad society comes through in your writing. I try to live my life through this phrase, you have to walk through the night to reach the morning, unfortunately the nights seem to be getting longer and longer.

I see that honours degree comes in handy. You can learn magical stuff at universities and glean deep insights from Don specialists (ists).
